Forward-looking statementsToday’s discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to future events and expectations and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Verifone’s actual results or actions may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For a summary of the specific risk factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, please refer to Verifone’sfilings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10- Q. Verifone is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise

Non-Gaap Financial Measures With respect to any non-GAAP financial measures presented in the information, reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures may be found in Verifone’s quarterly earnings release as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the Appendix to these slides. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures help it to evaluate Verifone’s performance and to compare Verifone’s current results with those for prior periods as well as with the results of peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures contain limitations and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, disclosures made in accordance with GAAP

Explanatory Notes to reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP items

Note A: Non-GAAP net revenues, costs of goods sold and gross margin. Non-GAAP net revenues exclude the fair value decrease (step-down) in deferred revenue at acquisition. Non-GAAP costs of goods sold exclude the costs of goods associated with the fair value decrease (step-down) in deferred revenue at acquisition. Although the step-down of deferred revenue fair value at acquisition and associated costs of goods sold are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, they result in net revenues and gross margins immediately post-acquisition that are lower than net revenues and gross margins that would be recognized in accordance with GAAP on those same services if they were sold under contracts entered into post-acquisition. We adjust the step-down to achieve comparability to net revenues and gross margins of the acquired entity earned pre-acquisition and to our GAAP net revenues and gross margins to be earned on contracts sold in future periods. These non-GAAP net revenues, costs of goods sold and gross margin amounts are not intended to be a substitute for our GAAP disclosures of net revenues, costs of goods sold and gross margin, and should be read together with our GAAP disclosures

Note B: Non-GAAP organic net revenues. "Non-GAAP organic net revenues" is a non-GAAP financial measure of net revenues excluding "net revenues from businesses acquired in the past 12 months" (as defined below). Verifone determines non-GAAP organic net revenues by deducting net revenues from businesses acquired in the past 12 months from non-GAAP net revenues. This non-GAAP measure is used to evaluate Verifone net revenues without the impact of net revenues from acquired businesses, as Verifone analyzes performance both with and without the impact of our recent acquisitions

Net revenues from businesses acquired in the past 12 months consists of net revenues derived from the sales channels of acquired resellers and distributors, and net revenues from Systems and Services attributable to businesses acquired in the 12 months preceding the respective financial quarter(s). For acquisitions of small businesses that are integrated within a relatively short time after the close of the acquisition, we assume quarterly net revenues attributable to such acquired businesses during the 12 months following acquisition remain at the same level as in the first full quarter after the acquisition closed. During periods prior to our acquisition of former customers, net revenues from businesses acquired in the past 12 months consists of sales by Verifone to that former customer for that period

Note C: Non-GAAP net revenues at constant currency. Verifone determines non-GAAP net revenues at constant currency by recomputing non-GAAP net revenues denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars in the current fiscal period using average exchange rates for that particular currency during the corresponding financial period of the prior year. Verifone uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate performance on a comparable basis excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations

Note D: Merger and Acquisition Related. Verifone adjusts certain revenues and expenses for items that are the result of merger and acquisitions. Acquisition related adjustments include the amortization of intangible assets, fixed asset fair value adjustments, contingent consideration adjustments, incremental costs associated with acquisitions, acquisition integration expenses and changes in estimate on contingencies that existed at the time of acquisition

Note E: Stock-Based Compensation. Our non-GAAP financial measures eliminate the effect of expense for stock-based compensation

Note F: Other Charges and Income (Loss). Verifone excludes certain expenses, other income (expense) and losses that are the result of unique or unplanned events, such as certain costs incurred in connection with senior executive management changes, certain personnel and outside professional service fees incurred on initiatives to transform, streamline and centralize our global operations, restructure costs, impairment charges and losses related to certain exit activities initiated as part of our strategic review of under-performing businesses and global transformation initiatives, foreign exchange losses related to obligations denominated in currencies of highly inflationary economies, and costs associated with litigation and other loss contingencies, penalties and settlements

Note G: Income Tax Effect of Non-GAAP exclusions. Income taxes are adjusted for the tax effect of the adjusting items related to our non-GAAP financial measures and to reflect our medium to long term estimate of cash taxes on a non-GAAP basis. Under GAAP our Income tax provision as a percentage of Income before income taxes was 48.0% for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2016, 7.8% for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016, and 7.6% for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2015. For non-GAAP purposes, we used a 14.5% rate for all periods presented

Note H: Free Cash Flow. Verifone determines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures
